Sixteen-year-old Zara "Zip" McKee lives for three things: basketball, books, and bailing out of tiny Titusville, Illinois, where the junior high and high school are in the same building and everyone's known everyone else since birth. But when Kieran Lanier moves to town and passes out on her desk on his first day at school, Zip's life gets complicated in a way she never dreamed.

Kieran has narcolepsy, and although he sometimes struggles to stay awake, he has no trouble capturing Zip's heart and trusting her with his most guarded secret--he sees bits and pieces of the future in his dreams.

But just when Zip thinks that maybe she can handle having a boyfriend who sees things before they happen, her budding relationship with Kieran gets a jolt when Kieran's parents reveal that his sleeping disorder is not what it seems and may be putting them in harm's way. And when Zip begins to have unsettling dreams, she must decide if she can live with knowing the future in advance when she's afraid of what might happen.

I was preparing for another paranormal story. I didn’t go into the book expecting much. But, again I was thrown against the wall, brick wall at that for judging the book beforehand.

Basketball = LOVE IT (my favorite sport)
Medical Twist = Perfect

Page one had the talk of basketball, and I was drawn in. I myself have been a basketball fanatic. Zip and Kieran meet off the wrong foot. Who just ups and dies in class? Well so Zip thought. But after talking with Kieran, Zip became the go to person that could answer the classmate’s questions.

I liked how the characters seemed their age; the romance grew as the characters got to know each other. The more Zip and Kieran get to know each other the more there is to his Narcolepsy.I loved learning about Narcolepsy. Once I heard of Kieran’s journal I was scared that this down to earth novel was going paranormal, but the twist following the journals kept it in the young adult genre. I thought this book could do well as a standalone story.

Amy Martin did a job well done and I just loved her writing style. You get romance, sports, and mystery all in one book. 4STARS
